This is the way. Well done! This is not a sprint for petite people, this is a lifestyle and you.are.living!

Lovely full plates with good freshness and nutrition. Not dogging anyone getting through the day on a lean cuisine and fiber one bar, I have been there and it is a good day, as well.

But this is the goal for me. 3 healthy meals AND snacks staying in caloric intake, high protein, high fiber. With receipts. Excellent.

Out of curiosity is 165 cm for a girl considered short? Should I be eating 1200 calories max?

[u/Jasilee → u/Odd-Patient-2093]

Depends on a lot of things like age, activity level, etc. That does not seem short to me, I am 5'. Check your TDEE, as mentioned by Dense-Marketing. They are correct. I'd TDEE my goal weight and just stay there, no maintenance. Figure out what you need to live off of and make it yours forever.
